CLI-First Spaced Repetition System for Developer Knowledge
Developers learn constantly but forget 80% within a week without reinforcement. A CLI-first spaced repetition system that integrates with the terminal workflow enables knowledge retention without context-switching to mobile apps or web interfaces.
Problem Statement
Developers constantly learn new APIs, algorithms, and domain concepts but forget them without reinforcement. Anki requires switching to a phone app. No study tool integrates with the terminal-first developer workflow where knowledge is most needed.
The Idea
A terminal-native spaced repetition system that presents flashcards during CLI workflow breaks, using git-synced decks that can be version-controlled and shared across teams.
Why Now
Developers spend most time in terminals but study tools require switching to mobile/web. Spaced repetition is proven effective but adoption suffers from friction. Git-based storage enables team knowledge sharing. CLI tools fit developer workflow naturally.
